Enter the Administration then the Online Drive Repair menus. b. Select the drive module that has been replaced. Bring the drive back online. c. If you have increased the number of drives since the last power cycle, you must power cycle the library for the library to recognize the additional drives. The library will automatically run a self-test when the drive has been brought online. When the drive is successfully brought online, the new drive will adopt the SCSI ID of the current drive position. You may need to use the host backup software to recognize the new drive when bringing it online. If the software does not have the capability to automatically detect the new drive, you may need to reboot the host. 8. Update the drive firmware if needed. (See "Upgrading Firmware" on page 4-60.) You may get a drive firmware mismatch error if you have multiple drives with different firmware revisions. See Table 4-1, "Partial Availability Conditions," on page 4-9. Chapter 4 4-59
